Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system. The method, according to one embodiment of the present invention, is performed by a terminal and may comprise the steps of: receiving control information indicating an aperiodic channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource masked with an identifier associated with an aperiodic CSI-RS; if the control information does not indicate an aperiodic CSI-RS resource for each terminal in a cell, determining that the aperiodic CSI-RS resource indicated by the control information is a resource element (RE) puncturing pattern for a downlink data channel or an improved downlink control channel; and decoding the downlink data channel or the improved downlink control channel by using the RE puncturing pattern.

Claims (21)

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the method being performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving at least one of (i) channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) indication or (ii) CSI request,

wherein the CSI-RS indication indicates a CSI-RS configuration, among a plurality of CSI-RS resource configurations;

wherein the CSI request indicates to report CSI based on the CSI-RS resource configuration;

based on that the CSI-RS indication and the CSI request are received, reporting CSI based on the CSI-RS resource configuration;

based on that only the CSI-RS indication is received and the CSI-RS indication does not include information for CSI-RS resource for each UE in a cell, decoding a downlink data channel and an enhanced downlink control channel by puncturing CSI resources included in the plurality of CSI-RS resource configurations; and

based on that only the CSI-RS indication is received and the CSI-RS indication includes information for CSI-RS resource for each UE in a cell, decoding a downlink data channel and an enhanced downlink control channel by rate matching CSI resources included in the plurality of CSI-RS resource configurations.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS indication is received in a UE-specific search space.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS indication is received in a control information candidate of a predetermined minimum aggregation level.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS indication is received in downlink control information of a predetermined format.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS indication is received on the enhanced downlink control channel.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor that controls the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor:

receives at least one of (i) channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) indication or (ii) CSI request,

wherein the CSI-RS indication indicates a CSI-RS resource configuration, among a plurality of CSI-RS resource configurations,

wherein the CSI request indicates to report CSI based on the CSI-RS resource configuration;

based on that the CSI-RS indication and the CSI request are received, reports CSI based on the CSI-RS resource configuration;

based on that only the CSI-RS indication is received and the CSI-RS indication does not include information for CSI-RS resource for each UE in a cell, decodes a downlink data channel and an enhanced downlink control channel by puncturing CSI resources included in the plurality of CSI-RS resource configurations; and

based on that only the CSI-RS indication is received and the CSI-RS indication includes information for CSI-RS resource for each UE in a cell, decodes a downlink data channel and an enhanced downlink control channel by rate matching CSI resources included in the plurality of CSI-RS resource configurations.
